In the west, no empire followed it for some three hundred years. In 800, the Frankish King, Charlemagne, who had conquered much of Italy, was crowned "Roman Emperor" by the Pope. This was the beginning of the "Holy Roman Empire" which continued until 1806, though after Charlemagne's death its authority was usually limited to Germany and Italy, and became increasingly nominal even there. In the East, the Roman Empire (commonly called the "Byzantine" Empire) continued until 1453, when it was replaced by the Ottoman Empire, whose Sultan used the title "Qaysar y Rum" (Emperor of Rome) and which survived until 1922. Between the early 600s and 800s about half the former Roman Empire (Syria, Egypt, N Africa, Spain) was included in the Arab Caliphate, which also held other lands as far as the borders of India and China. The Tsars of Russia claimed to be the heirs of Byzantium and the "Third Rome", but never ruled any significant amount of Roman or Byzantine territory

What comes closest to what you describe is the Ottoman Empire. However, the Ottomans did not conquer Rome and did not take over the whole of the Mediterranean. They defeated the Byzantine Empire by taking its capital, Constantinople. Byzantine Empire is the name historians use for the Eastern Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The west had already fallen more than 1000 years earlier. Also note that the city of Rome itself had never been conquered by anyone. The Ottomans conquered the Middle East and North Africa. On the European shores of the Mediterranean they only took over Greece and Albania. Apart form this, Mediterranean Europe was not reached by the Ottomans.
